You have to ask yourself the question...
WHY

that bloke (Alan Milyard) builds these things in his backyard shed !! I posted up a few shots of his V8 Kawasaki 1600 (based on a Z900) a couple of years ago, they are all on the old computer .....
He did the same thing, put 2 sets of barrels on a common crankcase, and made it work !!

- This included (as on the V12 bike):
Reversed rear cylinder head, which also requires cams to be reversed ! and also igntion timing reversed........
The cam chain in the V8 Z900 was over 5' long !!!!
He has also built a stack of 2-stroke kwakka *triples* that have all been expanded to 4 and 5 cylinders. He built a 4-cylinder H2 1000 !!!! FFS
The guy is an absolute genius. Great post Mick !!!

He's already done that so the 12 was the next challenge, reading the article it was a pretty serious challenge too, shitload of stuff had to be made it seems and a great deal of alteration too.
